We’re all familiar with this type of voicemail greeting. Simply put, a caller reaches you by dialing your number or extension directly. For an optimal personal voicemail greeting, be clear about who you are, the team you’re on, and when the caller can expect a callback.

Voicemails don't have to be a last resort or a dead end. Use these tips for messages that actually move the conversation forward. You'll enjoy richer prospect relationships and fewer opportunities gone cold.
